Your filesystem of choice?
We use XFS at work (and I work for a major London-based film and television post-production/visual effects facility) as it's an excellent journalling system which was originally introduced to us through SGI equipment (which has now gradually been phased out of the production side - and is only really used for the Infernos). XFS is pretty tough and we've not had many problems using it.

Martyn

I used ext3 on my RedHat 7.3 box. Now I have a Mac which uses HFS with journaling.

I use ext3 on my RH9 box. I will be switching distros shortly and will probably check out a couple of the other ones. This is just a home box, so I don't know if I will see any differances.

I use ext3 currently. I tried ReiserFS originally, but decided to try ext3 for comparison on my second go-round (my Linux install started out as an experiment). I had read that ReiserFS was more processor-intensive and intended more for large database files than typical workstation applications; I have not really seen much difference as regards performance. I may try Reiser4 when it rolls out.

UFS2, baby!
That's the closest thing I could say. I primarily run FreeBSD 5.2 on my machine, running UFS2, which has journalling. But, on my Linux machines, I run ext3.

yup I was about to say, what happened to ufs? It is primarily used on aix, sco and solaris.

I know this thread is old, but what is JFS? Never heard of that one.
We were working on a distro of ours.
The best in my opinion is ufs2. But the linux kernel cannot write on it.
On Linux the best should be as of today Reiserfs and Reiserfs4 is good. I guess when it is out of beta it should be the best.
But then again this is all relative choices. A lot depends on the kind of apps and typical file sizes.

Reiserfs is fastest, ext3 is a little more safe, ext2 is fastest, different filesystems for different jobs, oh and UFS on solaris with logging on.
